The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha has thus far distributed 1,400 food hampers to bring relief to families in need during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
According to head of the organisation Dr. Vindhya Persaud, the initiative was taken to help combat the crises brought on by the pandemic, which has left many facing hardship due to loss of income. Under its “Feed a Family” project, the organisation is targeting “needy homes”, including single-parent families, families with children, families with the elderly and families without breadwinners.
The initiative has made donations in the communities of Kitty, Sophia, Cummings Lodge, Industry, Vigilance, Enterprise, Bladen Hall, Nonpareil, Strathspey, Prospect, Coldingen, Herstelling, Providence, Covent Garden, Timehri, Soesdyke, Enmore, Foulis, La Bonne Intention, Montrose, Better Hope and Good Hope so far.
